# LDAP Authentication

For organisational integration, the administrative interface supports the authentication and authorisation of users against LDAP and Active Directory. The `zonecontrol-ldap` package provides the required components and the example configuration file contains basic information on the configuration of LDAP.

Configuration of the LDAP server, domain components, common names for groups etcetera should be made in the `/etc/zonecontrol/settings.py` file. The exact configuration depends on the organisation’s LDAP tree and attributes, the OX PowerDNS Team can help with the integration. More information can be found on the django-ldap-auth website.
